HÀ NỘI For the first time, Vietnamese children under the age of six can be issued ID cards upon request as the Law on Identification comes into effect on July 1, 2024. The legal representative of the child must complete the procedure through the public service portal or national identification application. Vietnamese citizens under 14 years old can be issued ID cards upon personal request. If the current residence information of Vietnamese citizens who are not eligible to register for permanent or temporary residence is updated in the National Population Database, they will also be issued ID cards. The new ID law has integrated health insurance cards, social insurance books, driver's licences, birth certificates and marriage certificates into the ID card.
